I know that even the biggest and brightest dream is often shattered by the cruel reality. But I don't want to change myself enough to forget about it. Even though it will never be realized in this life, I will still keep her picture in my heart. It is so simple in itself, if it were not for the details, which must necessarily match one and all.
Sea.
House on the hill.
Fireplace.
A white labrador at my feet, beautiful, strong male hands, carefully straightening my plaid. The fireplace crackles soothingly.
The dog faithfully lies nearby. The sea roars outside the window. A man puts firewood on the hearth. I am finally calm, warm and not at all afraid. And in all this love.
